About JHEIX
John Hancock Funds II Equity Income Fund Class A is a mutual fund focused on generating income and long-term capital appreciation through investments in U.S. equity securities. The fund primarily targets well-established companies with a history of paying above-average dividends, employing a value-oriented strategy by selecting stocks and securities considered undervalued based on various financial measures. At least 80% of the fund’s net assets are invested in equities, with a minimum of 65% allocated to common stocks of companies recognized for their reliable dividend distributions. This approach aims to provide portfolio yield that generally exceeds its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index, offering investors potential resilience during market downturns due to the typically lower volatility of dividend-paying stocks. The fund is managed by John Hancock Investment Management LLC, with T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. as the subadvisor, ensuring experienced oversight and strategic stock selection. Serving investors seeking exposure to large U.S. value companies and consistent dividend income, the fund plays a significant role in diversified portfolios, retirement planning, and income-focused investment strategies.
